UNUSUAL COLD SPELL
This section experienced very unusual

weather that has ever been known here.
There was from a quarter to a half inch
of ico on Friday morning, and consider
able damage was done to garden truck
of all kinds. There was no frost but the
tender plants froze and were killed.' 80
far as can be learned there was no
damage to the growing grain, although
it was feared that much of it would be
injured by the unusual, cold weather.
Potato vines were killed down but it Ih
believed thai they will sprout again,
while most of the other ' garden vegeta
bles will have to be replanted. This
weather is veryinusual at this season,
and follows a most unusual Spring, tho
Beason having been very late and an
exceptionally rainy one, There was a
decided cliango in the weather at tho
end of the week, a rain Saturday night
being followed by warm -weather on
Sunday, and this week Central Oregon
i i-having its first touch of real Suimniir
weather this year.
Reports from tho grain crop of this
section continue to bo encouraging.
While there are some exceptions tho
majority of the farmers report good
prospects of a heavy yield, mid tho crops
are not yet suffering for want pi rain.
Tho grain U heading out. and looks
land that can be irrigated i
"Valued ai $40 per acre, while
11011 irrigable land is valued al
$2.50. or irrigable land
' worth 10 limes as much. Ap
plying these iiigurei Ho the
lands of ihia section where
"there is no irrigation, the aver
age land here, with irrigation,
would be worth upwards of $100
per -i ere and it wouhi be
worth it, too. And it is within
.the bounds of possibilities that
iii'tt few years parties desiring
to buy in this district may have
to look' the ligure of $100 pei
